⤵️Some things about me and the Living Gratefully KZbin channel:
I love 💟 God and I love to thank Him every day!!
I love my husband and our family! 💍 I love to clean, make our home nice, eat (lol) and try new products and recipes.
My favorite Bible verse is Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
We like to take long weekend trips and do travel vlogs 📸 to share what we 🍴 eat, where we go and what we do. We also create DIY, decorating, decluttering, vlog style, hauls and cooking videos too. Since I love to clean I also post cleaning inspiration videos and I usually share some tips and hacks in those videos as well!
All in hopes to help you out in some way. Whether it’s inspiring you to clean, or to travel, or to fix something, or to make something better, or to solve a problem, or to be grateful, or to make a yummy meal for someone, or to ....
just about anything!! We just hope to help you out in some way.
💗 P L E A S E S U B S C R I B E 💗
I’d be super grateful! 🙏

Ocean Isle is a beautiful, clean beach, we love how small it is, everyone is super nice and friendly, and of course we ate some delicious food which you’ll get to see in this video. We’ll show you where we stayed, what we did, where we ate, what's in the shops - we mostly relaxed and enjoyed each other. It was a perfect beach getaway! 💙

I wanted to comment about this vlog. Our youngest son and family live near ocean isle. When we go to visit if we are there more than 1 night we always stay at Ocean Isle it is the perfect location . Like I have mentioned in a couple of your other videos spring break took us down last week. Then I went home with my hubby and I worked 1day and went back myself and stayed the week with our son,daughter in law and grand babies. Ocean Isle is the best. If you are looking for a pedicure check out Le Nails while there... I actually remembered someone posted about ocean isle so I found your post. Have a great weekend.

Also stayed at the Ocean Isle Inn which includes Breakfast (pre covid) and lots of amenities. Great views and comes with a fridge, microwave. The first time we stayed it was a great experience and the second time was still a great experience but wasn’t as good as the first although maybe it was because there was more people to a room so it felt more cramped.
